Reducing Your Risk of Side Effects 💊 There are several ways to learn about side effects for your prescription drugs and to reduce your risk of experiencing a side effect. 💊 Ask your health care professional about any possible side effects and what, if any steps should be taken to reduce the risk when you are prescribed a drug. For example, your health care professional may recommend taking the drug with food to lower the chance of getting nausea or to not take the drug with other drugs. 💊 Ask your health care professional for information about the drug when you receive your prescription (FDA approved labeling for patients include Medication Guides and Patient Information). These documents will include possible common and serious side effects. 💊 Read the pharmacy label and any stickers that may be attached to the prescription bottle or box. The label and stickers may have information on how to take the drug and possible side effects. #mayorhealth Follow Mayor's Health Consult via the link below: https://www.facebook.com/share/1Fad127kLN/
